Anyone using, or has anyone used the LED 1157 type tail light bulbs P# 52624, manufactured by Kaper II Inc. ?? I noticed the existing bulbs in the '64's tail lights are really dim, and checking the brake lights against the garage door,... they weren't a whole lot brighter either. Picked these bulbs up...

I was getting ready to install my plugs but the th​read on the AC Delco R45S are to short. The plug b​ottoms out well before the threads can get a good ​bite. I don'r recall the SBC head number, but the plugs​ screw in straight. I bought new R45S but now that​ I recall the old plugs I had were from the...

I'm trying to learn something - I see lots of differing opinions when I read about the topic. I'm sure many here will also have different opinions as well. Battery disconnects and if the switch should be on the ground side or opposide ground side (I'm not using positive negative because I have one vehic...

So I think I get to learn how the generator and voltage regulator work on the model a next. Battery died - not 100% sure if the generator is working correctly or if the voltage regulator is messed up etc. Still have to look up how to start diagnosing but I thought I'd post this first. When I put the voltmeter...

So I am looking for some tires and rims. I would like to have about 12" or more width of tire for the back but because of the stiff suspension was looking for something with more sidewall to absorb the bumps. Was doing this and got a phone call. We talked and I said what I was doing. Told him I was looking f...

Does anyone know if there are very different designs in the Lokar shifters for each of the transmissions? I'm asking because I may go with a Lokar or American Shifter for my 200r4, but 200r4 model shifters are harder to come by, so I can't find them as cheap as ones for 350s and 700s. Might they interchan...

Is there a local place that I can pick up a drive gear for my transmission? I thought I had everything to get this thing converted to a speedo cable. Missing the drive gear. Can order through the US but that will take a few weeks and not to mention the extra in shipping just a small part.

I removed an old set of Rally 15x6's from my chevy to install a newly coated set of Rally 15x7's. I was disappointed to see that the 7's hit the brake caliper. I cut up a piece of 1/2" ply, drilled bolt pattern and now the wheel does not touch the caliper. I am thinking to purchase a pair of 1/2" wheel spacer...

Hi guys, just plated my 56 F-100 today and I asked if I could get car plates (thought I had seen others with them) anyways the guy told me it's a truck so it gets truck plates? These would be commercial plates, why can't I just get car plates, anyone else have car plates on their vintage pickups? Angelo

Hey guys I have a question about a company I came across and there rear brake kit. Muscle car brakes.com. My car is now running good times at the track but I feel the factory stuff should be looked at and its time to upgrade the brakes. Installing Wilwood 2 piston calipers shortly but the rear is my focu...

So now I have a couple of welding questions. In the first picture I have two pieces of 16 ga overlapping each other. Top piece is primed and the lower one is not. What I want to do is butt them together to make one smooth part. I know I have to cut one of them but wonder if there is video or is someone can give...

This is a picture of the shifter I have for my truck. Can someone tell me what the part is that I am pointing to. It has numbers on it but when I try and type it into a GM parts search it does not come up. The shifter came out of a Monte Carlo SS but I have forgotten the year. Thinking it may be a 2007 but not sure...

I have a 50 year old two door hardtop. The original side glass has what looks to be water stains on them. I tried ,,,, glass cleaner, vinegar and baking soda, armor all glass scrub, high alcohol hand scrub, white off (used to clean white off the glass on a wood stove), and car wax. Still has a ton of what look...

Just curious... what would be an ideal set of economical aftermarket assembled heads I could just bolt on and go with on my 350? I have stock 993 heads now, pretty sure cam is not stock but no idea what it is, nothing to wild just doesn't sound stock To me.

So thinking ahead a bit. Starting to think about my dash and how I am going to work it which leads to getting the gauges so I know what hole size to use. Is there any/much difference between the different manufactures? Any I should avoid or any I should be using? Will either be 5 or 6 gauges when done. I...

So I picked up a set of bucket seats for the truck. To bad for the Monte Carlo SS I took them from. I have to raise them about 4-5" to make them high enough in the truck. What would be a good way to do this? Thinking the 2 x 4's I have there now won't cut it.

I picked up this heater the other day and it has no marking for me to identify it. It was with a bunch of tractor stuff but this looks aftermarket to me because the core looks like it's factory fresh. The chrome pieces look older but nice and shiny, the back parts in flat look like they are a fresh paint job, t...

Hi Guys, another noob question! I have tried a search with no results and I'm sure I have read this here once before? I just got my truck running after four years, this was my first and only attempt at building a ground up 4 wheeler. I just put about a gallon of hi test in to get the truck started, when I come i...
